Easy Layered Lace Lamp Shade

This is going to be a "mostly photo" post since this was an extremely simple project!

I came upon a massive amount of lace for super cheap at a Goodwill awhile back. I've been itching to cover a lampshade in ruffle-y lace for awhile now, and I finally had enough to do it.

I took pictures of the process, but my blogger nightmare has happened (again! But for good this time I'm afraid) and I lost my camera with a card full of pictures. I used a piece of chalk to mark around the shade so I knew where to put the hot glue and worked from the bottom to the top. I usually eyeball stuff, but I'm positive I would have ended up very uneven at the top if I hadn't used the chalk! This project was very easy; just a little time consuming and you need to be prepared to go through a lot of glue sticks!

I assumed I'd put this shade on a cute lamp and try to sell it, but my little girl insisted it go on the lamp in her room.

This is lovely! At least you have the excuse of having lost your camera - I always think that I will just try this without taking pictures because I don´t think it will work - and then the project is done and I don´t have any pictures... And I do it again and again... so what does this say about my intellect?

I'm a fancy shmancy, country bumpkin hick, obsessed with rummaging through garage sales to produce a dramatic "BEFORE AND AFTER". Sorry, not alot of detailed tutorials, since usually I don't know what on earth I'm doing! I'm a wife, mother of three precious munchkins, and live with paint under my fingernails instead of on top of them. Most importantly, I'm loved by a savior who has forgiven my sins!
